Stock CrossFire?

[oldace84]

Can I install the rocker's from Jeg's, 1.6 ratio Comp Cams Rocker's.
On a stock CrossFire, stock heads. Etc.
Thought this was cheap HP increase.
thanks

Hello Ace, hope this will help you out. www.x-ram.com

I installed them on my '84 a few years ago but installed a more aggressive cam from Comp Cams at the same time. Comp Cams did recommend that I go with 1.5 on the intake side and 1.6 on the exhaust side, but I believe without a cam change 1.6 on both sides would be better. As far as hp gains go, ( I believe they advertise 5% ?) I really can't help you as I made other changes along with it. I also had a 5.0 Mustang with a speed density system and the 1.6's did wake it up. Even if you don't see the gain you're looking for, they'll add longevity to your valve train.

Gman,

What valve covers did you use?
thanks

I used Edelbrock covers, Ace. They were a bit taller than stock. However, if you go with Edelbrock, don't go with the classic finned aluminum/black as they didn't hold up well. If you're unsure, Jegs and Summit both are really helpful with tech questions. If they're unsure they'll tell you so. If I had to do it over I would probably go with the Edelbrock chrome. A friend uses them in his '85 and they held up really well.
